Olives! Oh my! On our first day in Barcelona we headed out on foot to see what we could see. Almost right away we ran into a festive food fair with everything from artisanal cheeses and beers to huge crusty loaves of bread to this vendor of Spanish olive varietals. I must admit I didn’t even know that olives came in orange! For €1 we received the tumbler of olives with the toothpick AND a small tin of Malden salt. Each type had a distinct flavor and texture. What fun!

Before we were through we also had a fruit smoothie made only of fruit, luscious cheesecake without a crust (what a great idea), and locally produced beers.
